LO was fussy at when breastfeeding tonight so I thought she had gas. Usually when she's like that, I'll take her off, feed her a bottle and she'll poop and fart afterwards. (If I try to keep breastfeeding her, she'll squirm around and feel like she's ripping my nipple off). Well tonight I made her a bottle with 3 oz, but she only took about an oz (I guess she got more off the breast than I thought). Is there anyway I can save the other 2 oz??

We have been storing unfinished bottles in the fridge and then reheating it with hot running water. Its only in the fridge a few hours before another feeding so we haven't gotten to freeze anything just yet.

oh yes i would def save it for the next feeding. my lactation consultant told me that those conservative guidelines are really for preemie babies. that milk is too precious and i would always save it for the next feeding if they don't finish. i usually stick it in the fridge but a lot of people just keep the bottle at room temp.
but if they don't finish it at the next feeding, then toss it.

I used to save what my LO didn't finish when I was bottle feeding her.

We go by the rule that you can use it at the next feeding and then toss.

I came across this last night, while it is of course best to follow the published guidelines, it is interesting to see what you *could* potentially get away with

If it's a lot I will use it for the next feeding as long as we aren't out & about.
